The group named her Plum after they found her snoozing in a fruit tree with a "huge bloated tummy full of fruit."

Someone also started a petition following the bear's death to look into oversight from BC Conservation Officers. 

They get thousands of calls a year for human-wildlife conflict and in August 2019, they got 2,474 calls and ended up destroying 67 bears province-wide — they're often only euthanized when there's a real danger to humans.
